Shabby Chic Lampshade

I gave you a little teaser on my Easter post about what I've been working on for my studio.  I finished it last night and the sun hasn't cooperated, so these pictures are not as good as they could be, which is frustrating!  But oh well, it is suppose to rain again, so I will post these anyway.

So here is the reveal...  My Shabby Chic Lampshade on my antique base....Tada!

I have had this lamp for many years.  I bought it at an estate sale for $3.00 and the lampshade I got at a yard sale a few years ago for $1.00.  I used antique laces, beaded trim, doilies, velvet ribbon, paper & fabric roses, other trims, buttons, and pearls.  I used several pieces that I have been saving.  The white fabric rose was in the goodies I got from Sandy at Quill Cottage; I knew that I had to use it first thing...that was my inspiration.  I raided my vintage laces and buttons.  The only thing I bought were the white paper roses for $5.00 {only used part of a package}.  Everything else I had on hand.  It is sitting on a doily that my Great~Aunt Myrtle made over 22 years ago.  It will go on my computer desk in my studio.  Here are some close ups...

What are you working on?  My next project is to finish something I started for my grand~daughters.  Even though they passed away, I am going to complete the banners for their memory boxes.  It is a labor of love...

Have a wonderful rest of your week!
Blessings,
Cindy
